Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa supports tamariki (5-11yrs) and rangatahi (12-18yrs), particularly those who are less active, to access quality play, active recreation, or sport opportunities in their community or school and kura.

The next funding round is now open and will close on Friday 1 August. 

Organisations can apply for up to $10,000 with a maximum of two ‘live’ applications.

Get in touch now with one of our Tū Manawa team for more information.

Simple questions
